I would look toward some implementations: 1st: You could have one index for each language. Just record the preferred language in session and use it to select the index you are searching in. Pros: It is easy to add a new language, just create put another index instance online. Cons:It can become expensive and difficult to maintain as you need to replicate the changes on all indexes.
2nd: You could have fields like english_title, chinese_title, and so on, so you would use the language concatenated to the field name,getting all the fields you want when you know the language. Pros: It is easy to maintain. One index, just make a new field for each language. Restart the solr server and you have all you need. Cons: Each document will become large, so they will be slower to search through. 2008/5/12 Sachit P.
